Roots of unity in definite quaternion orders
A commutative order in a quaternion algebra is called selective if it embeds into some, but not all, of the maximal orders in the algebra. It is known that a given quadratic order over a number field can be selective in at most one indefinite quaternion algebra. Here we prove that the order generated by a cubic root of unity is selective for any definite quaternion algebra over the rationals with type number 3 or larger. The proof extends to a few other closely related orders.
Representation fields for commutative orders
A representation field for a non-maximal order in a central simple algebra is a subfield of the spinor class field of maximal orders which determines the set of spinor genera of maximal orders containing a copy of . Not every non-maximal order has a representation field. In this work we prove that every commutative order has a representation field and give a formula for it. The main result is proved for central simple algebras over arbitrary global fields.
Applications of spinor class fields: embeddings of orders and quaternionic lattices
We extend the theory of spinor class fields and relative spinor class fields to study representation problems in several classical linear algebraic groups over number fields. We apply this theory to study the set of isomorphism classes of maximal orders of central simple algebras containing a given maximal Abelian suborder. We also study isometric embeddings of one skew-Hermitian Quaternionic lattice into another.
